Good morning everyone,

Next year, we are eliminating our lower school computer lab and are =
moving toward a laptop cart for each grade (1-5). We currently are in =
the process of getting hardware and software quotes as well as working =
with our teachers to get lessons mapped out that tie into our =
curriculum.

To help answer some questions that we have, we're looking for any =
schools which already use laptops in their lower school who would be =
willing to talk to me and our lower school computer teacher/integrator =
about what works and what doesn't work in this environment. I know that =
all schools are different and what works in one might not work in =
another, but I'm trying to get our LS comp teacher as much information =
as possible to help easy any worries and/or concerns.

Thanks for your time

Phil
